When critiquing my project, my placement of the piece and the action of doing so was seen to be most important so I filmed the rest of the class holding it and passing it around to give them the experience of moving it around as well. Each person’s reaction was different but the general theme was that the project was something fragile, that needed to be handles like an infant. Even with permission to shake it and be rough people were hesitant and wouldn’t. On top of this, it was hard to get people to hold it in general, and required me to be adamant about it and hand it to them more forcefully because they would not take it from me. 

A few progress shots of my ghost sculpture. More photos to come once I photograph it in it’s proper setting.

Living is something that we didn’t choose to do, but life is full of choices we have to make. Every moment exists within itself, and will never be seen again once it passes. With every move made and every breath taken life inches further away while managing to progress. Our fears can control us once they take hold. You can feel trapped in an existence you know won’t last. You can look back at shells of moments you’ve left behind you. You can look ahead to decay and entanglement. But you can’t escape any of these things, you can just choose to move forward and live in the moments you create.

When my friend Ryan asked what materials I planned on using for my sculpture and what colors it would be, etc, after seeing my sketch...I in no way thought he was about to make a 3D rendering because he was too excited to see it in person that he couldn't wait. So here's almost exactly what I envisioned this looking like. I may not get it looking like this in the upcoming week due to lack of familiarity with the materials/lack of proper materials. But damn if this isn't a good place to set my sights. I am super in love with how this looks and I definitely want to make it a reality in the future.

Working on sketching out some self portrait ideas.
